Hi, I am new to a forum and not sure what I am doing. But I hope today has been a good day for one and all.

@Former-Member Welcome.

I really like your name, it says a lot about you.

I’m sorry things are tough for you, well done, for saying how you feel, it’s not easy, and it’s also not easy to put yourself out there.

So many of us here understand where you are coming from, so here, you are not alone.

I’m glad you are a nan, and enjoying it. A little person, to help when Things are rough.

I too love the beach. I was walking on one last Friday, soaking in the sea breeze and magnificent view.

A forum tip. The @brings a dropdown, and is how we tag each other.

Thank you so much for your welcome and comments Maggie. I do try to be a positive person but it can be very difficult and exhausting to keep pushing through. I will certainly have a look at what you have recommended.

Thank you, I was going to delete everything as I struggle to open up to people and don't like to complain. But this is nice to see the word 'welcome'

@Former-Member Yes, I agree, it’s so hard to keep pushing through with depression and anxiety.

i just thought of another thread you might enjoy. Inspirational Quote of the Day . I often drop by there for a boost.

hi @Former-Member hugs my new friend,

here is a song i really like, it can be based on religion but it also shows us how to not feel alone.

For king and country - God Only knows

Thank you for the link to the song, I did start to watch it but when it got to he young girl at the bridge I couldn't take it anymore. My mind is in a bad place at the moment.

but I do appreciate your kindness

Thank you @Former-Member I have Bipolar 11, PTSD aspects of paranoia really awful panic attacks etc. I do not take medication. And have been told out of the blue that my psychologist at the clinic doesn't think that therapy is of any help to me, this is the first time the paranoia had been brought up. What hurt most was being told that she told me my case manager didn't want to see me any more.
because of my severe panic attacks with medical appts. They have agreed for me to see my dr very rarely. Also my case manager said that she was happy to support me either way about my medication. Saying they are there for me in the background. But the other week at my therapy appointment they said that because I wasn't seeing my dr that they are a multidisciplinary team and I can't continue. They know I will see the dr but I always follow it with ...it would be a waste of her time has I won't be taking medication, so no appts. are made. Yesterday I received a hand delivered letter saying I am now discharged. I have tried a couple of times to make an appointment with my old GP but cancel after making it. I haven't had a gp for quite a while now. My case manager was looking into finding me one but eventually when I did get a name that GP was no longer working at that clinic.

I feel really blindsided and although I asked my psychologist for a break as I wasn't mentally well and couldn't understand, very emotional and didn't feel like I could phone my c.manager. Then when I thought that it must be all over after 5 weeks of not hearing anything I get this letter. Feeling confused and so hurt.

Iam sorry for the long rant.
